February 2, 2026 5.0 Pros Very easy to navigate even for those who are not great with computers or other software, support is great if you need it! Cons I have not run into any major issues so far since trying Workday out, I've only used it for a few months at this point! Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Workday Grant Administrator Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workday Financials Review" December 6, 2019 4.0 Pretty good, however the points addressed as dislikes should be addressed as it would make workday more robust Pros What I like is the reporting options available in the financials model. It allows us to reconcile grant spending within the award management team along with the depts as all data points are in Workday. Users with the report Writer role are able to construct their own reports and schedule output for specific users as needed. Everything from award creation to sponsor billing can be done from one system. Cons There are constraints regarding billing for sponsors on grants for expenses posting outside of award line dates if the company is using a different system for timekeeping. There are also no award or grant compliance checks in workday leaving compliance auditing at risk Switched from [Onfinity](https://www.capterra.com/p/144584/VIENNA-Advantage-ERP-CRM/) The old system was archaic and no longer able to be supported Review Source AN Amir N. Accountant Accounting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Workday Financial Management" December 27, 2025 3.0 The overall experience with the software is good. As this is a very detailed and comprehensive ERP program, sometime this system got stuck while either navigating into it or looking into the management reports Pros Workday Financial Management is a detailed ERP program that manage all of your accounting and finance needs in accordance with the International Accounting Standards. It streamlines process for better and timely business decision making. Cons Since this is a detailed accounting ERP program, its hard sometimes when navigating and finding details while posting transactions. You need to click various tabs before getting into the correct string and often system got hanged Review Source MC Momin C. Retail Strategy Director Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Review for services" January 5, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience was positive. Workday is strong for standardizing financial processes, improving data accuracy, and enabling timely reporting and analysis, especially in larger organizations. Once users are trained and the system is configured well, it’s a reliable platform that supports scalable financial operations. Pros I liked the unified platform and real-time visibility—being able to pull consistent data across finance and operations without bouncing between tools. Reporting and dashboards made it easier to spot trends quickly and support faster, more informed decisions. Cons Some workflows can feel rigid or overly structured, especially when exceptions come up and you need quick adjustments. Also, reporting can have a learning curve—getting very specific/custom outputs sometimes requires more configuration or expert help than you’d expect. Review Source CE Christina E. Accounts Receivable Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workday " November 3, 2023 5.0 Pros Easy to find transactions, sort, and filter Cons Lots of irrelevant data fields crowd the page. Difficulty knowing which do use. Switched from [Banner CDS](https://www.capterra.com/p/10001395/Banner-CDS/) Management decisions. I was not involved in the decision. Review Source JM Jason M. VP Fin Sys Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review of Workday Fin from VP of Fin Sys" December 11, 2025 5.0 Pros Workday Financial Management provides a comprehensive financial management solution that seamlessly integrates complex financial processes into a single, unified system, allowing organizations to streamline their financial operations with unprecedented efficiency. By offering a centralized platform that connects various financial reporting and analysis functions, the system eliminates data silos and enables finance teams to gain holistic insights across different departments and financial domains. Cons The releases usually only have small enhancements for the financial side. I really think they could put some power behind that. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Digital Philanthropy Caller Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great but Sometimes Slow" October 24, 2025 4.0 Pros It is easy to see everything that you need for a job as soon as possible and to check the hours that you have for a week. Mobile access is great, especially for the price since it is very easy to navigate and to submit timesheets. Cons I don’t like that it’s slow to load and difficult to check whether or not you’ve submitted times for a week. You have to manually check every time for every week to ensure it has gone through. Review Source AB Ashley B. Curriculum Designer Medical Devices Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "One stop financial shop!" October 25, 2025 4.0 I like that it is so intuitive and easy to navigate. It has a lot of useful functions with and does a good job of keeping lots of important financials organized in a one stop shop. Pros I love that this is a one stop shop for all of the throngs that I need to access as an employee of a global business. Cons I wish that there was a little bit more customization opportunity since it ends up being a hub for many needs but doesn’t align with our brand guide. Review Source AM Andy M. Senior Account Executive Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A very good tool for companies" June 27, 2025 5.0 Workday Financial Management beneficts from streamlined processes and solid reporting, but setup and navigation can be challenging at times. Pros Workday Financial Management is a very usefull tool for companies, it simplifies finance with real-time insights. Cons I don't have anything really negative to say except for the fact that it has a complex setup and limited customization Review Source Tiffany Y. Financial Operations Analyst II Accounting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Your usual financial software" December 10, 2019 4.0 Okay overall, don’t really see anything outstanding compared to other financial softwares Pros Allows user to save particular reports for easy access in the future, especially great if you need recurring reports. Cons There should be some sort of a filter feature. I find it troublesome when looking up vendor in the search bar, but unable to refine by cost center or BU without going through pulling the ledger entries. Review Source AA Amanda A. PAS Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Would recommend " January 13, 2025 5.0 I would recommend to other people looking for a easy program. Pros Very easy to maneuver. Set up was nice and organized. Cons The options that they gave for different things. Review Source BY Brittany Y. Many integrations Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Integrated well into Concur" June 8, 2024 4.0 Pros This platform integrated really well into concur for creating and removing user profiles. It was a nice solution for automating what was previously a manual process. Cons There were not any negatives in my experience. Review Source RS Rachel S. Proposal Analyst Insurance Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Workday Review" October 29, 2018 3.0 I use workday to keep track of all my important company information. Overall I would say it's a good platform, but it needs some updating to make it more user friendly. Epically the time and absence widgets. I'm not a huge fan of how this program functions. Pros I like being able to access my personal information, my performance, my time, my benefits, etc. all in one location. Cons I don't like how difficult it is to track my time. We have a lock out every week and it is difficult to keep track of the hours I work. I usually have to write them down on a sticky note and transfer them back in once the lock out is over. Very inconvenient. I also don't like how I have to go to a different screen to include my absences like PTO or Maternity leave. It's been somewhat of a mess trying to keep track of al my hours and benefits.

Cons Customer Service representatives could be friendlier. Review Source KT Kelli T. Tehcnical Systems Administrator Insurance Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Workaround" November 3, 2016 4.0 When we initially started using this product it was very cumbersome. It improved some of our old processes but then seemed to make other worse. It has either gotten better or we have just gotten use to it. We have also had some issues with invoices getting lost in the system and had to recreate them in order to get them to process. They recently changed the requisition creation and it is not clear what the end user needs to do once they enter a line item. Overall I like the product but I feel it could still be improved. We just started using the HR function this week and so far I like what I see. Pros The reporting capabilities and the ability to drill down in functions to get to the info you need. Cons Not always user friendly. The error notes are not very helpful in pointing you to the specific line that has an issue. Review Source Shiawtian C. Associate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Friendly and easy to use interface. Very powerful report and data sorting tool" February 11, 2018 5.0 Pros I like the easy access to different reports. I can put down information the way I want it and dive deeper into the data if I need to. Everything is linked and stored in an easy to navigate format so you will have an easy time looking for what you need. Cons I don't like that reports can take a while if the data size is fairly large. Also if you attempt to click around too much before Workday process what you want it to do, you will get an error message. It is very easy to create this error message if you click around too much without giving it some time. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Account Manager - Pacific Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Aged tool" August 27, 2018 2.0 Pros it does the job at the end of the day and you can structure the tabs easily. Cons The look is very much aged and basic. A bit of a face lift would help the user experience. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer New Jersey State Bar Foundation Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Excellent Financial Tool" September 9, 2020 5.0 My overall experience in Workday was fantastic. I would recommend it to everyone. Pros I love the aesthetics and the ease of use. I am not a lover of numbers but Workday made it almost seem fun to do my accounts through here. It's easy to use, to track your finances and make changes when needed. There is no fuss, no hiccups, just easy and almost fun to use because it works smoothly. Cons Nothing. I can't think of anything to help improve this system. I love it. Review Source DB Daniel B.

Pros Workday does an amazing job with a great interface allowing the user to easily learn the system while not sacrificing the work being done. Easy, affordable, maintainable. Cons Requestion procedures a little of a task, but manageable.

I love being able to go to one place for all my HR needs. Pros I love how Workday is my company's one stop shop for all things HR. It's easy to be able to log in and have all the important things in one place. We do our annual reviews here, our employee information is tracked here, and our training services are done through here. Prior to Workday, we used many different platforms - now we just have this one. Cons I find the platform can be slow, and the user interface is not very compatible with Internet Explorer. Review Source VM Vanessa M. Project Officer Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "It is a little bit difficult to use at the beginning. " February 8, 2018 4.0 Pros It has a very simple interface. Reports and features can get customized by ITS on demand. There is an app you can use on your phone with all the working features. Cons It contains no tools for project management other than the accounting of available budget, obligations and actuals. Some terms do not reflect the correct accounting, finance, and projext management industries.

I love one-stop shops Cons Never had figured out how to get rid of certain items or delete them specifically in the job interest. I have them lingering on the side but would like to delete. Can't figure it out :-) Review Source AP Abhijay P. Software Engineer Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very resourceful HR and finance management software" July 29, 2021 4.0 Overall, it's good software but can be much better if they work on some of the cons I mentioned. Pros The payslip management is very helpful. Taking a look at all of your paycheck structure and absence in easy-to-navigate panes is a good feature. Cons The initial learning curve can be tricky. The second thing I find annoying is unplanned maintenance without advanced notice makes it tough when you have some last-minute things to finish over the weekend. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Selector Warehousing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very awesome service " November 23, 2019 4.0 Well it helps me get my payslip even faster than waiting in line it helps me request time off if I want to so when it comes to flexibility this is the right app for work and software Pros I like this software because it shows me my payslips my schedules my time off pretty much everything I need from work Cons The only thing I cannot do on the app is set up my health insurance with the company I work for but other than that I can do pretty much anything through the software in the app Review Source LA Lauren A.

Pros Do you want a one-stop shop for your financial needs? Look no further! This software is easy to use and can be effective in so many different ways. This tool has been invaluable to my business. Cons There is always a learning curb with new software. I was able to figure out a few of the shortcuts but it does take a little learning and growth.
